SPAM anyone? - no thanks I'm full

[Ameer Antar]

here's an interesting link my friend passed on to me about spam filtering:
http://www.paulgraham.com/spam.html

about having emails in the archives, I think it would be pretty easy to
remove the emails from the archived messages by adding a little code to
whatever program that archives the list. I know in Perl-CGI this task could
be done in a few lines of code by searching for the '@' symbol in each word
of the messages and removing them. I've done similar stuff before for work.
I'd be happy to help working this out if it would be acceptable. What do
yall think?
